What does 'care' mean in contemporary society? How are caring
relationships practised in different contexts? What resources do
individuals and collectives draw upon in order to care for, care
with and care about themselves and others? How do such
relationships and practices relate to broader social processes?
Care shapes people's everyday lives and relationships and caring
relations and practices influence the economies of different
societies. This interdisciplinary book takes a nuanced and
context-sensitive approach to exploring caring relationships,
identities and practices within and across a variety of cultural,
familial, geographical and institutional arenas. Grounded in rich
empirical research and discussing key theoretical, policy and
practice debates, it provides important, yet often neglected,
international and cross-cultural perspectives. It is divided into
four sections covering: caring within educational institutions;
caring amongst communities and networks; caring and families; and
caring across the life-course. Contributing to broader theoretical,
philosophical and moral debates associated with the ethics of care,
citizenship, justice, relationality and entanglements of power,
Critical Approaches to Care is an important work for students and
academics studying caring and care work in the fields of health and
social care, sociology, social policy, anthropology, education,
human geography and politics.
